| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the debate that occured in 1907 over the establishment of a pleasure quarter,the Nakajima brothel,in Asahikawa Town,Hokkaido,where a division of the army was stationed.The mayor of Asahikawa and a majority of the town counsilors organized a protest movement.Though the opposition movement formally justified their position as being besed on the proximity of the anticipated site to a school,the argument also arose that the town's tax income would be reduced with a new brothel,an important tax resource.Their main aim was to boost prosperity in the town while co-existing with both the military and brothel.The groups in opposition took action to arouse public opinion in Tokyo to support their case.This coinsides precisely with a period of military expansion following the Russo-Japanese War.There was a rapid increase in places that were demanding the establishment of brothels taking military location as a pretense and this had become a focus of criticism.
